I am currently undergoing chemotherapy for breast cancer and experiencing severe anxiety, heart rate issues, and vision problems. My oncologist prescribed Zoloft and Xanax, while my primary care doctor suggested a beta blocker. I am unsure about the best medication regimen and whether the side effects of these medications or the chemotherapy itself are causing my symptoms. What is the best approach to manage my anxiety and other symptoms during my treatment?

I’m 40 years old and 7 weeks pregnant. I have one 4-year-old and had 1 miscarriage before in 2014. I’m anxious about this pregnancy and want to know the chance of miscarriage, if detecting a heartbeat reduces the risk, if it’s normal for pregnancy symptoms to temporarily disappear, and if my progesterone level of 19 ml at 7 weeks is too low.

My thumb suddenly became swollen, slightly stiff, red, and painful, and has stayed that way through today. How long have you had the redness? Have you used any medication for it? Have you seen a doctor about the redness? Anything else in your medical history you think the doctor should know?

I have chest pain on the right side, a very light cough, and if I draw up phlegm it has little pink spots in it. I do not have much phlegm and have to try to bring it up. I have no fever or any other symptoms. What could be causing this and what should I do?

I’m 28 years old and have been experiencing urinary hesitancy since starting Paxil 20mg about 1.5 months ago. Could this be related to the medication, or should I consult my doctor about it?
